Protect Patients From Sacral Pressure Injuries with the

New Prevalon™ AirTAP Patient Repositioning System

Prevention for at-risk patients

Turning and boosting patients in bed is critically important for preventing sacral pressure injuries. Unfortunately, due to physical demands and time constraints, it can be difficult to comply to your facility’s schedule. Using air-assisted technology, the uniquely designed AirTAP System requires 80% less force to boost your patients vs. draw sheets.1START A FREE TRIAL

The next evolution in care and convenience

The AirTAP system makes it safe and easy for you to protect your patients from pressure injuries by offloading the sacrum, minimizing friction and shear and managing moisture.

It also stays under your patient at all times so it’s always ready to assist with turning and boosting. And unlike lift slings and plastic slide sheets, the system offloads the sacrum and helps maintain a 30-degree side lying position. This makes it possible for you to achieve compliance to a q2° turning protocol while providing the best care and minimizing stress on your patient.

Prevalon Turn & Position Systems

Important Safety for Patients and Staff

The Prevalon Turn & Position Systems are an evolution in patient repositioning. Unlike lift slings and plastic slide sheets, they stay under the patient at all times, so they’re always ready to assist with turning and boosting the patient. The Prevalon Turn & Position Systems help minimize the risk of injury for the healthcare worker.1 This makes it possible for nurses and staff to achieve compliance to a q2 turning protocol while providing the best care and minimizing additional stress on the patient.

Proven Results: Prevention and Cost Savings

A comparative study evaluating the TAP and the standard of care (SOC) for turning and positioning patients resulted in an 84% reduction in sacral pressure injuries.

Another study found that use of the TAP to turn and reposition critically ill patients resulted in a significant decrease in incidence of hospital-acquired pressure ulcers (HAPUs). No HAPUs occurred after implementing the system and staff saw a 60% decrease in time spent repositioning patients. Thirty-five percent fewer staff members were needed to reposition patients.3
